Product Insights

The Buttoned-Tab Faux-Suede Minidress from Icône ($89) uses recycled polyester faux suede that matches virgin performance in durability and scuff resistance but requires dry cleaning and shade from direct sun. Fitting true to size with a caveat to size up for bust/waist due to minimal stretch, the 33-inch A-line hem and princess seams offer hip room; a full lining prevents transparency but suggests nude undergarments for Mossy Green. Buttoned tabs and topstitching avoid plainness, and the consistent length across Icône minis aligns with their quality-at-mid-price, sustainable design ethos.

Verified claims

Hem height
Measured 33 inches / 84 cm from the top of the shoulder, the hem lands at mid-thigh on a 5'6" wearer and shifts about ½ inch per inch of height difference.
Body shape fit
True to size by the chart, but many reviewers find the minimal-stretch faux suede runs small through the bust and waist, so sizing up is safer; the slightly flared A-line gives hip room.
Fabric feel and stretch
Soft, velvety faux suede has minimal stretch; shoppers between sizes may want to size up through the bust and waist.
Lining
Full thin lining prevents see-through, but nude undergarments recommended for Mossy Green.
Care
The care label permits machine washing with no bleach and hang drying, but dry cleaning or spot cleaning with a damp cloth also works. Keep the dress out of direct sunlight to slow color fading; weekly brushing, steaming instead of ironing, and air-drying after moisture preserve the nap.
Durability
More scuff-resistant than genuine suede, with full lining and topstitching rare at this price.
Wear resistance
Resists scuffs and shape loss; recycled equals virgin durability.
Color retention
Retains color saturation; direct sunlight may cause fading.
Design details
Design details include a hidden back zip, buttoned tabs at the hem, mini front slits, topstitched finishing, and a full thin lining; the tabs and topstitching signal quality and keep the hem from looking plain.
Fit and shaping
The slight A-line flare gives hip room without relying on stretch, so the non-stretch faux suede doesn't pull across the lower body.
Value
Exclusive private-label model avoids licensing fees, delivering quality and sustainability at $89.
Faux suede
The dress's shell is recycled polyester faux suede (half conventional polyester, half recycled-bottle polyester); it is durable, easy to clean, and matches virgin performance.
Construction
Fully lined with topstitching and buttoned hem tabs reflect careful finishing.
Length consistency
The dress's 33-inch length is consistent across Icône mini dresses, a brand design signature.
Recycled polyester
Recycled polyester cuts energy 45–85% and CO2 30–60%, with identical performance to virgin.
Brand sustainability
Icône regularly uses lower-impact materials across its line, backed by a quality-at-mid-price design philosophy.
Lining material
The dress is fully lined with a thin 97% polyester, 3% spandex lining.
Colors
Available in Chocolate/Espresso and Mossy Green.
Hem tab function
The buttoned tabs at the hem are a decorative design detail; they do not adjust length or drape, and the 33-inch length is fixed.
Front slit modesty
The mini front slits are small vents for movement; with the full lining and slight flare, they open modestly when walking or sitting instead of gaping wide.
Brand origin
Icône is Simons' in-house label, and this dress carries the house's 'designed in Canada' tag, so it is sold only through Simons' own assortment rather than cross-shopped elsewhere.

Uses

Layered over shirts for cold-weather outfits

Shopper feedback describes layering this faux-suede minidress over shirts for fall and winter styling. Its cut is said to accommodate shirts underneath, so it can work as a layered cold-weather piece as well as a standalone dress.[1]

Chic evenings out in a faux-suede minidress

Wear this Icône minidress as a chic standalone piece for dressing up in the evening — reviewers report its rich faux-suede and quality color draw compliments, with a flattering cut. Note the non-stretch fabric runs tight on hips and chest, so it's reported to run small and sizing up is often needed, with XL the largest size available.[1]

Buttoned-Tab Faux-Suede Minidress: Choose this if you want a sleeveless, slightly A-line minidress in a rich faux suede with a velvety feel—half of its polyester is recycled, it has a full thin lining, and buttoned tabs with short front slits at the hem. Reviewers describe it as flattering, compliment-worthy for chic evenings, and easy to layer with shirts underneath for fall and winter. Note that reviewers report it runs a full size small with no-stretch fabric that's tight on hips and chest, so sizing up is advised—and XL is the largest size offered.[1,2]Irregular Buttons Ponte Minidress: Choose this if you want a comfortable, form-fitted minidress for office-to-evening occasions: reviewers report its substantial, stretchy ponte knit moves with you, resists wrinkles, and pairs well with blazers or heels, while the irregular gold-tone and silver-tone buttons give what reviewers call a 'business but fun' vibe. Note that it runs small for its body-con fit, and sizing up often makes the shoulders too large for petite frames, so sizing is tricky. Also, the front buttons are decorative only — the dress closes with a back zipper — and the snug, clinging knit stays form-fitted even in larger sizes, which may not suit those wanting a relaxed silhouette.[3]Faux-Leather Flared Ruffle Dress: Choose this if you want a short, sleeveless faux-leather dress with a flared, slightly trapeze silhouette that widens into a gathered ruffle hem with soft vertical folds. It has a high crew neck, wide armholes with exposed edges, a back zip closure, and a smooth glossy finish, in a length of about 33 inches (84 cm) from the top of the shoulder. The faux leather is made of 50% polyurethane and 50% polyester from recycled plastic, and it comes in sizes X-Small through X-Large in Black or Chocolate/Espresso.[4,5,6]

Beautiful dress

★★★★★Maria M.

A beautiful dress and very chic.

superbe

★★★★★Mélissa P.

tissu et couleur de qualité

Super belle

★★★★★Fanny D.

Belle coupe, beau tissu. Grandeur plus petit que normal donc le XL fait un large pas plus. Pas disponible plus grand que XL!

Great piece - runs small

★★★★★Lisa B.

Even though I’m usually small/medium in this brand, I had to exchange in store as a bit snug around hips and fabric doesn’t stretch — but great dress!

Nice but tight

★★★★★Samantha C.

I am usually a small but even medium is tight on me (bigger chested). Other than that it’s a great dress that can be styled with many different options of shirts underneath
